Pazham Ada
Ingredients:
Ethapazham- -2no
Rice flour -1/3cup
Grated coconut -4tbs
Jaggery -1/2 cup
Cardamom- 2tbs
Ghee -1tbs
Preparation
Steam the Bananas:
Place the two ripe bananas in a steamer. Steam them until they are soft and the skin turns dark. This will likely take around 10-15 minutes, depending on the ripeness and size of the bananas .
Mash the Bananas:
Once steamed, carefully peel the bananas and place them in a bowl.Mash the bananas thoroughly with a fork or your hands until you have a smooth paste with no large lumps .
Prepare the Filling:
To the mashed banana, add the grated coconut, melted jaggery, and cardamom powder .Mix all the ingredients together well until they are evenly combined. This will be the sweet filling for the Pazham Ada.
Make the Dough:
In a separate bowl, gradually add the rice flour to the banana-jaggery mixture.Mix well to form a soft, pliable dough. The amount of rice flour needed might vary slightly depending on the moisture content of the bananas. Aim for a dough that is not sticky and can be easily spread .
Assemble the Pazham Ada:
Take a piece of wilted banana leaf. You can wilt it by briefly heating it over a flame or by placing it in warm water to make it pliable and prevent tearing.Place a small ball of the banana-rice flour dough on the banana leaf.Gently spread the dough into a thin, even layer on the leaf, using your fingers or the back of a spoon.Place a spoonful or two of the coconut-jaggery filling in the center of the flattened dough .Fold the banana leaf over to cover the filling, like folding a booklet. Gently press the edges to seal.
Steam the Pazham Ada:
Arrange the wrapped Pazham Ada in a steamer.Steam for about 10-15 minutes, or until the banana leaves change color slightly and the dough is cooked through.
Serve:
Once steamed, carefully remove the Pazham Ada from the steamer.Let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy this healthy and delicious banana snack!
